Ontario BS Thread

Given the off road comes with bilstein I'd say that's a down grade lol

 

not really the rancho are twice as big but I get you

 

Ranchos rear shocks are twin-tube, so they have a larger diameter external body. However, the piston size and fluid volume are just as small as the monotube Bilsteins.

Good reviews on the front Quicklift struts by a few guys who ran them. Basically same performance level as Bilstein 5100s. However, they provide only 1.2-1.5" lift on 3rd gens.

And you'll have to source AALs or leaf packs for the rear separately.

 

@pete37 there are couple of new players in the business since the 3rd gen debut. Look up Elka and Terraflex Falcon.

 

cool thx will do

looks very nice

 

If I remember right from when those were posted on here they aren't lifts but just upgraded performance to stock stuff.

Why not just stick with what's known.
Billies or ome for budget
Fox Kings icon adv if you want to spend $$$$

 

Going to see if I can get it installed this week sometime.

 

Construction might be different but I meant performance

The valving etc is shit on them

 

dont like to follow the crowd all the time thats all

 

Following the crowd as they all herd towards a locked door during a fire, is 1 thing.








Buying tested parts that will work exactly how you want them, the 1st time you bolt them on is another.

I didnt want to play any guessing games with my suspension upgrade.

 

LOL,

if you want to be different do ICONs (like I am planning on), oh wait don’t do it, me and @3JOH22A have them, abort!


Do kings, not many people have them here

 

kings out of my price range

 

Does anyone on here use thermacell stuff for mosquitoes etc.

Everything i read on them is amazing but I want first hand ontario trails review

 

they work i’ve seen @Jake4848 use it

 

I have one that attaches to jetboil/Msr/GSI etc fuel canister and one of those patio ones with the butane cartridge etc. Got the gas one first and when I realized it actually works got the patio one on sale at Canadian Tire

It's not 100% no mosquito. But it definitely helps.

Or run two. That's what Leo and I had running in Ardbeg last time and really kept the bugs at bay. Not sure how safe it is to be inhaling all that but hey

 

I was looking at Kings initially but then decided on the 6112's and use the money saved for a bumper.

I bought a lantern few years ago and was impressed. I use the personal one as well. Like @Joe23 said, not 100% but it's pretty good.

 

If you are looking for value, I'd avoid the kits and piece together the lift yourself. Falcon front shocks with OME springs, Icon VS2.0 rear shocks, AAL, same Mevotech/SPC UCAs you sold me, etc.

 

I will have my AAL for grabs soon after the leafs come in @pete37

you can have the entire pack, they are only 1.5 years old, still have life left

 

fluid was purple cuz its ATF not power steering fluid. just in case you didn't know
